Question 14 Marks
The monthly wages of 30 workers in a factory are given below:
83.0, 835, 890, 810, 835, 836, 869, 845, 898, 890, 820, 860, 832, 833, 855, 845, 804, 808, 812, 840, 885, 835, 836, 878, 840, 868, 890, 806, 840, 890.
Represent the data in the form of a frequency distribution with class size 10.
Answer
Here, the maximum and minimum values of the variate are 898 and 804 respectively. So the range = 898 - 804 = 94 Here, we will take class size 10. So we must have $\frac{94}{10}$ i.e. 10 classes each of size 10. Therefore, the frequency distribution in which the lower limit is included and upper limit excluded is: Lower limit of first class interval is;$\text{a}-\frac{\text{h}}{2}=804-\frac{10}{2}=799$
And upper limit of first class interval is:$\text{a}+\frac{\text{h}}{2}=804+\frac{10}{2}=809$
Other class limits are:

43, 32, 28, 31, 24, 23, 26, 36, 32, 29, 28, 21
Prepare a cumulative frequency distribution table using 45 - 49 as the last class-interval.
Answer
The minimum number of bookshelves is 16
and maximum number of bookshelves is 45
Range = Maximum book shelves-Minimum book shelves = 45 - 16 = 29
Given, class interval is 45 - 49.
So, class size = 49 - 45 = 4
Therefore number of classes $=\frac{\text{Range}}{\text{Class size}}= \frac{29}{4} = 7.25$
Number of classes = 8

Question 124 Marks
The water bills (in rupees) of 32 houses in a certain street for the period 1.198 to 31.398 are given below:
56, 43, 32, 38, 56, 24, 68, 85, 52, 47, 35, 58, 63, 74, 27, 84, 69, 35, 44, 75, 55, 30, 54, 65, 45, 67, 95, 72, 43, 65, 35, 69.
Tabulate the data and present the data as a cumulative frequency table using 70 - 79 as one of the class intervals.
Answer
The minimum bill is Rs. 24
The maximum bill is Rs. 95
Range = Maximum bill - Minimum bill = 95 - 24 = 71
Given, class interval is 70 - 79.
So, Class size = 79 - 70 = 9
Therefore number of classes $=\frac{\text{Range}}{\text{Class size}} = \frac{71}{9} = 7.80$
Number of classes = 8

Question 214 Marks
The class size of distribution is 25 and the first class-interval is 200-224. There are seven class-intervals.
Write the class-marks of each interval.
Answer
GivenClass size = 25
Class mark = 200-224
$=\frac{200+224}{2}$
$=\frac{424}{2}$
$= 212$
Class mark = 225-249
$=\frac{225+249}{2}$
$=\frac{479}{2}$
$= 237$
Class mark = 250-274
$=\frac{250+274}{2}$
$=\frac{524}{2}$
$= 287$
Class mark = 300-324
$=\frac{300+324}{2}$
$=\frac{624}{2}$
$= 312$
Class mark = 325-349
$=\frac{325+349}{2}$
$=\frac{674}{2}$
$= 337$
Class mark = 350-374
$=\frac{350+374}{2}$
$=\frac{724}{2}$
$= 362$

Question 224 Marks
The blood groups of 30 students of class VIII are recorded as follows:
A, B, O, O, AB, O, A, O, B, A, O, B, A, O, O, A, AB, O, A, A, O, O, AB, B, A, O, B, A, B, O
Represent this data in the form of a frequency distribution table. Find out which is the most common and which is the most rarest blood group among these students.
Answer
Here 9 students have blood group A, 6 as B, 3 as AB and 12 as O
So the table representing the data is as follows:
Blood Group
Number of Students
A
9
B
6
AB
3
O
12
Total
30
As 12 students have their blood group O and 3 students have their blood group as AB. Therefore the most common blood group is O and the rarest blood group is AB.

Question 234 Marks
Why do we group data?
Answer
The data obtained in original form are called raw data. Raw data does not give any useful information and is rather confusing to mind. Data is grouped so that it becomes understandable and can be interpreted. According to various characteristics groups are formed by us. After grouping the data, we are in position to make calculations of certain values which will help us in describing and analyzing the data.
